Well, the controller supports everything that is in the HDMI spec
(1.4 and 2.0), the implementation is the one that limits the
supported formats. There is also a CSC but it does not convert
from anything to everything :)

I think you can safely add every MBUS code that is compatible
with HDMI. Namely:
    -    24/30/36/48-bit RGB 4:4:4
    -    24/30/36/48-bit YCbCr 4:4:4
    -    16/20/24-bit YCbCr 4:2:2
    -    24/30/36/48-bit YCbCr 4:2:0

And then let the glue drivers decide which they support in input
and what they want in output (the output is a little tricky
because it will depend in EDID, this should be handled by
userspace + drm core and not the drivers so let it fixed to RGB,
just in case).

Hmm, this depends on the implementation. The controller always
receives 48bits of data per pixel, its the implementation that is
responsible to correctly align that data.

I think the HDMI spec dictates the default colorspace+encoding
for each bus format, not sure though, Laurent?
